The designers did their best to hide it by painting it black. For the most part it doesn't need it, but what is interesting is that the Maximal symbol sculpted into the chest is still there. There was no retooling done to this figure for this release.
In an unexpected move, the red paint is also used on his Tonfa weapons, which was unexpected since they are out of sight most of the time.
The silver adds some fantastic detail to parts like the left arm and torso. The teal color calls back to Black Convoy (and other versions of Nemesis Prime). Paint colors used on this figure include metallic teal, red and silver. It is a good combination of colors and it really tilts the aesthetic of the figure towards a traditionally "evil" appearance. Translucent red is used for his chest plate and left arm. Black makes up most of the "shell" of the figure, with beige making up smaller parts like the lower legs, horns, shoulder connection pieces and the right side forearm. The base plastic colors for Nemesis Prime are black, beige and translucent red. This gave the designers a baseline to start from when creating the deco for this figure. By the time this figure was released, the template for an "evil Optimus Prime" had already been set by Black Convoy. This meant a lot of his colors leaned into the brown range of colors while other colors were inspired by Optimus Prime including the use of red, blue and silver. Robot Mode: Big Convoy was designed to represent an organic looking mammoth in beast mode. You can check out my Big Convoy and Blue Big Convoy reviews for a look at the base sculpt in detail. This review will focus on the changes made to the figure for this release. This made him an important figure in the Universe storyline. Instead of just having a different colored version of Big Convoy, Hasbro turned this figure into a different character: Nemesis Prime! This version of Nemesis Prime was a twisted clone of Optimus Prime tortured into being a Herald of Unicron. This included Big Convoy, the leader of the Cybertron team in the Beast Wars Neo series. This included figures that were exclusives to Japan at the time. The Universe toy line drew from many sources for molds to redeco.
